I guess most people assumed (like the kidnappers did i'm sure) that the head of India operations of Adobe would have that much to spare. On the other hand, it looks like our Income tax Department had no idea that there was that much money involved in the business.

The Income Tax Department has slapped a notice on Adobe India CEO Naresh Gupta, who had allegedly paid a huge ransom to kidnappers for release of his three-year-old son Anant in November. Additional Income Tax Commissioner Amar Vir Singh has asked Gupta to appear before him on December 28, informed sources said.

The department has sought from Gupta details about his property, bank balance and other things to determine that the alleged ransom amount was not part of any hidden income, the sources said.
